When @SoulModel, an aspiring, narcissistic social media influencer, gets lost in the forest, she stumbles upon Zernov, a once-powerful, masked, ancient demigod, near death. He must take advantage of her fake altruistic methods of getting followers through social media, or he will cease to exist. Problem is, Zernov may have underestimated @SoulModel’s uncontrollable desire to become an Insta-God.
It’s about the power of gods and transference of power from the old world to the new world. From theism to individualism. From the follower to the followed.
Think Midsommar meets American Gods.
